Lots of fluff in this article and the site itself sucks. Here's the key paragraph:
One way to achieve this would be to impose a levy on the gross revenues of the largest AI providers, collected by a national or multilateral agency. As the technology becomes increasingly embedded in daily life and production processes, the revenue flowing to AI firms is bound to grow – and so, too, will contributions to the fund. These resources could then be distributed by independent grant councils on multiyear cycles, ensuring that support reaches a wide range of disciplines and regions.
My biggest issue with this approach is that it fails to acknowledge that AI is a bubble currently propped up by venture capital. In 1-4 years all those investors are going to want their ROI, and AI companies are going to start turning the money crank hard.

The coolest part about the money crank is never knowing if it's attached to anything

There's also no way to really tell what the "cost" of generative AI is on creative fields, or any way to determine who gets what money. There aren't going to be enough grants to cover every small, independent artist whose work is buried beneath mountains of AI slop
And like, the obvious issue is who is going to enforce this? Pretty much every government has been cozying up with the billionaire tech bros that run AI companies and will fight tooth and nail against any legislation like this proposal

“A.I.” can’t fund itself right now and it doesn’t seem to have gotten much better in the last year or so.
